How Get Philips Sonicare Flexcare Plus Sonic Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush, HX6921/02 From Philips Sonicare Now!

Customer Reviews Most helpful customer reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great functional design, works amazingly well, very sleek and professional looking. By Michael Alexander A great electric toothbrush, the sonicare is amazing. I originally purchased this model over the others because of the more narrow handle on it, but I much prefer it over the lower-end model my girlfriend has. It has a clean, professional, and adult look to it and fits the hand like a solid toothbrush should instead of like a Dremel tool with a toothbrush attachment like the lower-end models do.Features--------------------It wasn't very clear from the product description when I first ordered it, but one of the buttons on this device is a mechanical button (the power button) and the other is a capacitive touch button (the mode button). The capacitive touch button is extremely well designed, requiring a very deliberate touch while the brush is off in order to change the mode. There are a handful of modes the brush can run in, with a couple giving a pulse pattern instead of a constant run. Largely the difference is the amount of time the brush will run, but if the "quadra-pacer" setting is used, the mode being used changes when the pacing is signaled.In addition to these modes, there are two settings that apply to every mode that aren't selected the same way. The first is a "quadra-pacer", and the second is a beginner mode. The "quadra-pacer" is a feature that when turned on will cause the brush to pause briefly in it's normal routine to notify you that 1/4 of the cycle is done when, and how frequently this actually occurs depends on the mode selected however. The beginner mode is intended for those unused to electric tooth brushes and supposedly starts with a weaker sonic brushing, ramping up over time as the brush is used again and again. Beginner mode can be reset to start over again, or it can be turned off completely (like I did), but is enabled by default when the brush is received.Of the modes, the most basic is the standard brushing one. It runs for 2 minutes before automatically shutting off, and if the quadrapacer is enabled it will pause very briefly every 30 seconds. Another mode is a gum massage mode that slightly changes the pulse frequency the brush runs at, and sets the time for 1 minute. In this mode the quadrapacer notifies you every 15 seconds. The mode I use for my regular brushing is one that combines both of these. The brush runs each of the two modes back-to-back without pause, for a total of 3 minutes of running time, and if the quadrapacer is on it will actually provide 8 notifications, the first 4 in 30 second intervals, then the last 4 in 15 second intervals. Additionally because its running the different modes back-to-back, the pulse frequency of the brush changes slightly for the last 1 minute. This isn't really a significant change though and is barely detectable even when waiting for it. There are also a couple other modes, including a refresh mode that runs for 1 minute with the normal brushing pulse frequency.Battery-----------------------------The battery is a sealed internal rechargeable battery that recharges wirelessly from an included base unit. The actual base unit is only a little bigger than the base of the brush, and about 1/2" thick. It has a small stud that fits loosely with the bottom of the brush to orient it. Included is also a larger plastic case that the charging unit fits into that provides a larger and more stable base, small mounting studs for 2 extra brush heads, and hooks/space for wrapping the cord to keep it out of the way. The really major selling point of this though, isn't how easy it is to charge (which is incredibly simple and fast), but the fact that it almost never needs to be charged. The usage time listed is 2 weeks between charges, but using it in the longest (3 minute) mode usually once a day, but occasionally twice a day, I easily make it closer to 3 weeks between charges. This makes it an absolutely perfect travel companion since you just need to make sure it's charged before you pack it and then don't have to worry about bringing the charger. At the bottom of the brush is a set of 3 battery lights that clearly indicate the battery level whenever the brush is used and for a few minutes after. Putting it on the charging base will cause all the battery lights to fade on and off while it's charging until they all stay solid on when it's fully charged. When the charge is low, it will pulse only the lowest battery light whenever it would show the battery level, and when it's critically low the light color changes to orange instead of yellowish-green and the brush will occasionally pulse strangely while being used (clearly an indication to the user to check the battery level and charge it). Charging it seems to only take 30 minutes to an hour from a nearly empty charge, but your mileage may vary.Usage & Additional Parts-----------------------------------Knowing this was clearly going to be used in a wet environment, the entire brush is sealed and waterproof. I use mine in the shower, so I keep it laying sideways on a shower rack when I'm not using or charging it, pick it up to use it while I'm showering, rinse it in the shower when I'm done, then put it back on the rack (laying on its side). The only gap in the entire unit is where the replaceable brush head attaches, there being a small gap between the bottom of the brush head and the top of the motor unit when it's fully seated. This isn't particularly noticeable since it's right below the colored band on the brush heads, but it does mean that the top of the unit needs to be slightly cleaned of build up whenever the brush head is replaced (just to keep it clean, not because functionality is in any way affected). In the package for this brush, you receive one brush head, the hand unit, a charging base that plugs into the wall, a plastic cover for the charging base (described above), and a travel case that fits the hand unit (without an attached brush head) and up to two brush heads. The travel case has been unbelievably nice in my experience, making it very easy to take the whole thing with me in my luggage without having to worry about getting dirt on my brush heads or somehow destroying the short metal drive shaft that extends from the hand unit into the brush heads when they're attached. The ability to carry two brush heads seems like overkill to me, but the case clearly isn't extended or the design modified so two could be handled instead of just one so it's hard for me to fault the design. Brush heads are rather standard, you don't need to buy OEM despite what some reviewers have said, you just need to find brush heads that specifically fit this model of unit, and they generally last 2-3 months before they need replacing. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful upgrade from a much older, more primitive Sonicare. By Chad Bush I bought this to replace my 5-year-old Sonicare Series 2 toothbrush, which was still serviceable but could no longer hold a charge for more than a couple of days. This new one is so much better!This model runs more quietly, it's lighter and thinner, it's compatible with a larger selection of toothbrush heads that are better designed and use less landfill-filling plastic. My old model used the screw-on type of heads.This model also has a battery indicator light, a sleek, well-crafted charger base, and a compact carrying case.The lithium-ion battery holds a charge for a very long time, and is part of why this model costs so much and is so light, slim and quiet. As long as this toothbrush lasts anywhere near as long as my old one did, I'm happy to have paid the premium price for everything this model has to offer.The carrying case is made of molded plastic, and I imagine that after a bit of use it will probably fall apart, but they can be bought on Amazon for around $10, so I'm not worried about that. The toothbrush's several modes are useless to me; I just use it to brush my teeth, at full speed with the quad-timer. But for that it works great.I've read reviews by people complaining that some Sonicare models force them to cycle through all the useless modes when turning off the device. That does not happen with this model. The switch turns it on, then turns it off, simply. The different modes are selected using a separate switch. This model also does not shut off automatically after the 2 minutes, which I appreciate because sometimes I want to brush for a little bit longer.One word of caution about the product listing: The product description says this model comes with a charger AND a travel charger. This is not exactly accurate. The travel charger is a minimalist little charger that fits inside of a larger plastic base, which otherwise is hollow. The "non-travel" charger is just the travel charger with an extra plastic covering that has a larger surface with pegs to store a couple of extra toothbrush heads and a space to wind the cord.If you're sharing this with someone and expect to have two complete chargers, you'll be disappointed. When you take the travel charger on a trip, what's left behind is a useless shell that cannot be used to charge anything. So if you leave town for a few weeks and take the travel charger with you, the person staying home with whom you've been sharing will have no way to charge her toothbrush until you return. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Best toothbrushes out there, incredible cleaning and battery power - but REGISTER YOUR PRODUCT ASAP! By Smashley I would have given 5 stars except for the fact that Philips purposely engineers their toothbrushes to crap out with no chance of fixing them yourself or replacing the battery shortly after the warranty expires - you pretty much have to go buy a brand new toothbrush 1-2 years later. For the price point, that is NOT acceptable by any means, which is why I implore you: REGISTER THE TOOTHBRUSH AS SOON AS YOU GET IT!! You will have a much easier time getting your product RMA'd if need be, and you will have documentation to back up your claims, so customer service will be much more likely to help you. Also, doing so extends your mfctr warranty by 6 months, so it becomes a 2.5-year warranty. I had a DiamondClean years ago which broke 1 month after the 2-year warranty expired (how convenient!) and was hesitant to go back to Philips. That being said, the Flexcare Plus is just FANTASTIC. The battery life alone is amazing - I received it a week ago with 3/4 battery charge, been using it twice a day since then and still has two bars left, have yet to fully charge it. I was previously using an Oral-B Deep Sweep $25 rechargeable brush from CVS; charging took 16 hours and only gave you 1.5 weeks of use at most, and while it did a good job cleaning my teeth, it rattled my entire skull! The Sonicare lineup in that aspect is awesome - very intense but super-precise sonic vibrations, so it does not rattle your head while brushing. My teeth feel amazingly smooth and clean all day/night into the next morning, and does a good job massaging your gums. I also like that it flexes to get around the sides of your back-most teeth, which I have always had a hard time cleaning. Wish it came with a UV cleaner, but I'm very satisfied nonetheless. My teeth are at least 5 shades whiter, and it has also lessened the brown plaque lines I have between my teeth (GROSS!!) from all the coffee I drink each morning. Thumbs up all around! I will update again should anything change, or break... See all 714 customer reviews...
